Chapter 32: I Want to Talk to You
Donnie originally thought that the dinner was a small party with a limited number of people such as Professor Heqin, who were also high-level combat forces of mutants, and they could also get to know each other through the party, and it would be easy to talk when they met in the future.
But he didn't expect dinner to be a whole-school extravaganza.
Professor X opens the hall of the school, where mutant students of all grades participate, and dozens of tables are put together on top of famous delicacies from all continents, and all kinds of rare and exotic food dishes are put on the table.
The aroma is pervasive and colorful, making people salivate.
Children and teenagers of all sizes ran around each other, laughing and laughing, and some cunning boys took out the wine they didn't know where to get it.
They are not old enough to drink alcohol and will be punished severely, and Xavier's school rules are strict in some respects.
Donnie always felt that he was not suitable for this kind of occasion, it was indeed very lively, a bunch of children of all sizes were running back and forth, yelling, cakes and other things were smeared everywhere, which was very interesting. But Donnie felt awkward.
When he sat in his seat, a bunch of bad boys surrounded him, staring intently, but no one spoke, just watching, as if he were looking at a rare animal.
Donnie finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "You guys, just ask if you have a question, just look at me and what does it mean, do you owe a beating?" He was a little hairy, and a bunch of teenagers stared at him without saying a word.
Finally, there was an unkempt boy who couldn't help it, he was impatient, drank some wine, jumped up and asked first: "Are you a mechanic?" ”
Nonsense! Am I not paying you back?!
Donnie gave him a disdainful look and asked who he was.
The unkempt boy identified himself as John Ellerdeis, and he nicknamed himself the Burning Man.
"They say you killed a lot of people." John said that he was young and impulsive and irritable, just like his ability to control fire, and that he was very curious about people like Donnie.
"People? It depends on your definition of 'person'. I just killed a guy some time ago, and it just so happens to be John, isn't it your brother? Donnie said jokingly as he picked up a small fish with his fork and sniffed it, it was delicious.
This fire man was not only not scared when he heard this, but his eyes were bright, he was manic, and it was difficult for him to be a good child in a peaceful school, and he longed for Downey's life.
Another teenager suddenly spoke: "What will you do after that, will you continue to hunt down vampires?" This peaceful teenager introduced himself as Bobby Drake.
Donnie looked at him with some surprise, the news of his slaughter of vampires was the most circulated in the dark world, and everything on the surface was blocked by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Security Council, how did this teenager know?
"I know a bit about hacking, I've hacked some systems and found that a lot of people are talking about you, and they're waiting to see what you do next." Babi said that it was only then that he learned that there were really vampires in the world, and not only in film and television works.
The other observers were surprised and asked Babi the question, is there really such a creature as a vampire?
"Could it be a mutant too? Just like angelic mutants and demon mutants, there are also vampire mutants? "Some speculate that he is very knowledgeable and knows some of the factions of ability within the mutants.
Donnie smiled and shook his head, he lifted another plate, and in the stunned eyes of the teenagers, he directly put it into his mouth, not caring about table manners at all, let alone treating himself as an outsider, extremely heroic.
Many people looked over and turned their heads with a smile, like Professor Charles and others who laughed and watched him flirt with a bunch of bad boys from afar, and were very happy to see Donnie mingle with them.
Donnie wiped his mouth and warned the teenagers that vampires were a bunch of lowly animals that fed on innocent ordinary people, and were a great cancer attached to humans. As long as you have the opportunity to encounter it in the future, you can immediately kill the killer without the slightest hesitation.
"If you take a bite of that kind of thing, it's basically useless." Downey advises the greenhouse flowers to instill some real events to arouse their vigilance and sense of self-preservation.
"So what do you do? Will the pursuit of vampires continue, as some have speculated? A lot of bad guys are saying that a big war is going to break out, and they're even speculating that you might lead an entire group of mutants into a massive war that will sweep the world against the vampires. "Bobby chases Donnie, who lives in the school all year round and rarely goes to the outside world, hoping to get some news through Donnie.
"I don't know if it will lead to a war between us mutants and vampires, I don't have that appeal at the moment, and the professor and Lao Wan can't all listen to me. But at least one thing was clear, my war with the vampires began. Donnie went around and around, he had never seen so many good things, let alone eaten, he had never even heard of it, this time he was going to have a good time, and a bunch of teenagers behind his ass followed him.
What seemed to Donnie to be ordinary words set off a huge wave in a group of greenhouse flowers, infinitely raising his compulsion.
One person, start a war! But the person who spoke still had a natural tone! It's as if it's normal for him to fight a war on his own!
The secondary two teenagers are a little crazy, they are not deep in the world, they have too little experience, and they have never met such a crazy person, not to mention that they take this young maniac for granted!
One person, starting a war, one person, is an army!
These secondary two teenagers were instantly immersed in fantasy, and in the war-torn wilderness, they themselves also single-handedly rushed towards the enemy's army and beat them to pieces. John the Burning Man was the most frenzied, he slapped the table vigorously, and when he was excited, he took out a long-cherished can of wine from his pocket, opened it and poured it into his mouth.
John the Burning Man swore that he had never met such a person, and the image of the young man in front of him was infinitely tall, opening the door to a new world for him with one punch.
Auroro walked over, slapped John down, snatched the wine from his hand, and blamed Donnie: "You shouldn't have told them this, and you shouldn't have watched them drink, they're too young to touch things they can't touch." ”
This is the philosophy of Xavier School for the Gifted and Young, and they take care of these young people.
Donnie shrugged his shoulders and smiled apologetically, though he was a little unimpressed. The world is cruel, and there is not much time and space for these teenagers to grow up slowly. The flowers in the greenhouse are beautiful, but they are embarrassing.
Downey led a group of bad boys around looting food, causing many students to complain about their dissatisfaction, but soon more people joined in, swept away the rich food, and ate it in their stomachs.
This night, everyone had fun, and this night, many people knew and accepted the strange face of Donnie.
By the time the meeting was adjourned, it was already midnight.
Donnie returned to the room he had arranged in advance, and felt his stomach to eat. He didn't sleep while the others were falling asleep contentedly, Downey was waiting for something, and he believed that someone would come looking for him.
Soon, there was a soft creep in the hallway, followed by a knock on the door.
"Mr. Donnie, are you asleep? I'm John, and I'd like to talk to you. Burning John whispered, for fear of being discovered.
